Precautions
WARNING:
• Tampering with gas-specific connections shall
be prohibited. Do not alter, remove or modify
gas-specific connections.
• Before connecting liquid container to left bank
of manifold or high-pressure cylinder to right
bank of manifold and reserve header,
momentarily open and close
container/cylinder valve to blow out dirt and
debris.
• After connecting container/cylinder to
manifold, open container/cylinder valve
s-l-o-w-l-y to allow heat of compression to
dissipate.
• Always secure high-pressure cylinders with
racks, straps, or chains. Unrestrained
cylinders may fall over and damage or break
off cylinder valve.
• Do not repeatedly bend, sharply bend, or
twist copper pigtails as damage to tubing may
occur.
• Do not bend flexible pigtails into a radius
smaller than 3”.
• Service to be performed by qualified medical
equipment technician.
